She was always walking singing to her footsteps   Dirt ditch paths and pine cones   Digging up glass bottles   Rusty springs from feather beds   Old hubcaps on the picket fence   She planted beds of flowers   Stayed outside for hours      In spirit she's drifted to the ocean   All those years of waiting for the water   She’s watching long shadows caught in the tide   But the sunset by the sea is in her mind   The sunset by the sea is in her mind      And she was always hoping to someday leave the mountain   Domestic chores and children   The darkness of the winter   Painting all these mermaids   Wandering to the sea shore   She wanted him to follow but his heart is with the hillside      In spirit she's drifted to the ocean   All those years of waiting for the water   She’s watching long shadows caught in the tide   But the sunset by the sea is in her mind   The sunset by the sea is in her mind      These days you'll find her walking   Singing to the deep sea   But she will always love him   Lost up in the mountains   The sun set in the ocean   Gathering shells and beach glass   Dancing with the rogue waves   Gives her peace of mind   But she will always love him   Lost up in the mountain   Oh she will always love him   Lost up in the mountain
